The morning in a pine forest




“The morning in a pine forest” is a painting by Russian artists Ivan Shishkin and Konstantin Savitsky (Savitsky has painted the bears).
“The morning in a pine forest” turned very popular, being reproduced on various items, including the chocolates by Babayevskiy. According to the statistics, the painting is the second most popular in Russia behind “Bogatyrs” by Viktor Vasnetsov.
Personally, I adore this painting the most, because it somehow suits my inner world. This picture makes me feel relaxed and finally I realize how virgin and pure Russian nature is.
It is believed that Shishkin painted the pine trees in Estonia, where he often liked to rest in summers.
